Having just arrived at Dawa Town, Su Ke headed straight for Kara's apothecary.

Entering the shop, everything was normal. Su Ke simply lay back in his chair.

A few minutes passed, and several powerful auras descended upon Dawa Town.

Su Ke keenly noticed them.

However, these powerful auras clearly had no intention of attracting attention, remaining very low-key, merely scanning the surroundings with their magic.

Based on the fluctuations of their magic, Su Ke calculated.

They were approximately between Fourth Rank, Level Eight, and Fourth Rank, Level Ten.

Soon, someone arrived in front of the apothecary.

The door was pushed open.

"Welcome! What would you like?"

The beckoning cat puppet announced.

The newcomer was a man wearing standard equipment, with eyes like a hawk.

After entering, he first glanced at the beckoning cat puppet that had spoken, then turned his gaze to Gou Da and Er Gou.

After staring for several seconds, Gou Da and Er Gou felt uncomfortable all over, baring their teeth and growling in their throats.

The man shifted his gaze, looking at Su Ke behind the counter. "You, are you the owner here?"

Su Ke stood up. "Welcome, I am the owner, Kern."

Su Ke recognized the standard equipment on this person.

Only high-ranking officials in the Lornos Principality City Guard were qualified to receive and wear such equipment, which had strong defensive capabilities.

Besides the equipment and identity, Su Ke also sensed this person's level.

Fourth Rank, Level Eight.

Only one level higher than himself.

Su Ke calculated the probability of silently killing him.

When he arrived at a result of 50%, Su Ke abandoned the idea.

The risk was not proportional to the reward, not worth it.

The man frowned slightly after hearing Su Ke's self-introduction.

"I am Zorin, a city guard officer from Kolette City."

Su Ke said with a smile, "City Guard Officer Zorin, hello."

Zorin's frown deepened, and he moved closer to Su Ke step by step.

As he approached, a magic rope appeared in his hand.

Su Ke knew that this kind of rope was specially used to bind prisoners with magic.

It had the effect of suppressing magic.

Su Ke remained calm, still smiling as he asked, "City Guard Officer Zorin, may I ask what I have done? Are you going to arrest me?"

Zorin had already arrived at the counter, only one step away from Su Ke.

"Mr. Kern, I suspect you have imprisoned Kara, the owner of this apothecary!"

"Please cooperate with my investigation."

Su Ke laughed. "So you are a friend of Kara's, you've misunderstood."

Zorin paused, staring at Su Ke, waiting for Su Ke to continue.

At this moment, Kara's voice came from outside the door, "Zorin! What brings you here!"

Kara pushed the door open and came in. After seeing the scene inside, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Ke, "Kern, what's going on?"

Seeing that Su Ke really knew Kara, Zorin put away the magic-suppressing rope and gave Su Ke a smile. "Sorry."

Su Ke waved his hand. "It's nothing."

After an explanation, Zorin learned of Su Ke's identity.

He widened his eyes. "To think that Kara, who has always been so high and mighty, would actually cooperate with someone in pharmacy!"

Su Ke looked at Kara.

Indeed, with Kara's identity as the former chief pharmacist of the empire, there were probably very few pharmacists who could catch his eye.

If his pharmaceutical techniques and so on weren't so similar to Kara's, and if Kara hadn't recognized his identity as a reincarnator, he probably wouldn't have let him be the second owner.

Kara said with a smile, "Kern's pharmaceutical skills are not ordinary, almost on par with mine."

Zorin's eyes widened even further.

Being familiar with Kara, he knew very well that Kara was a Fifth Rank pharmacist.

There were not many Fifth Rank pharmacists in the entire Lornos Principality!!!

It was precisely because of a coincidence that he learned this secret, and thus became friends with Kara.

To be recognized by Kara, that meant.

This person named Kern, who was wrapped in clothing from head to toe, was also a Fifth Rank pharmacist!!!

Zorin was excited.

With his status, it was usually difficult for him to even come into contact with one Fifth Rank pharmacist, and now he was in contact with two at once!!!

Zorin looked at Su Ke. "Mr. Kern, I apologize for my rudeness just now!"

Su Ke waved his hand, saying indifferently, "It's okay, you meant well."

At noon, at Zorin's insistence, the three of them had a drink together at the town's tavern.

Under the influence of alcohol and Su Ke's deliberate guidance, Zorin was already calling Su Ke 'brother'.

He put his arm around Su Ke's shoulder, slurring his words, "Brother, you being wrapped up so tightly, it's really hard not to associate you with bad guys."

Su Ke was silent.

After a long while, he slowly said, "I… I have severe burns all over my body, my face is extremely ugly, I dare not show it to others.

I can only… only wrap myself in thick clothing…"

After saying these words, Su Ke seemed to fall into grief and inferiority, his whole being enveloped in a cloud of gloom.

Zorin's drunkenness instantly dissipated, and he stammered, not knowing what to say.

He looked at Kara.

Kara was silent for a moment, then shook her head and whispered, "This is his lifelong pain.

Because it was caused when he was very young, he missed the best time for healing, and it can never be cured…"

Zorin looked at Su Ke, who was immersed in tragic memories, wishing he could slap himself in the face.

I'm really damned!!!

Who would want to wrap themselves up so thickly in the heat of summer!!!

There must be a reason!!!

Damn it!!!

Zorin stood there, feeling like a sinner at this moment!!!

Kara quickly pulled him. "Zorin, you should go back first, I can handle things here."

Zorin nodded quickly. "Then I'll leave first."

After saying that, he looked at Kern, "Ker…"

After uttering one word, he quickly shut his mouth, then looked at Kara again. "I… I'll leave first."

Zorin left, looking back every few steps, his face full of guilt.

He walked a hundred-meter-long street as if it were a marathon.

Seeing Zorin disappear completely, Kara poked Su Ke with her elbow. "Alright, stop pretending."

Su Ke turned around, revealing a smile. "What do you mean by pretending?"

"This is my current persona!!!"

"Persona! Do you understand?!"

Kara rolled her eyes. "Look how guilty you made the poor kid, he probably won't be able to sleep well tonight."

Su Ke said seriously, "I am a magical beast, surviving in the human world. If I don't have suitable camouflage, how can I survive?"

Kara nodded. "That's true."

"However, your persona is not complete and tragic enough."

Changing the subject, Kara said with great interest.

"You should also add that your parents died when you were young, you depended on your grandfather, your grandfather died of illness, you went to an orphanage, and were bullied in every way. Fortunately, a fire broke out, burning away the evil, and also burning you like this…"

"If you feel that this is not tragic enough, you can also add that you finally had a girlfriend, but she ran away with someone else. It's okay that she ran away, but she came back three years later, with a big belly, insisting that it was yours, wanting you to take responsibility…"

"If you feel that it's still not tragic enough, you can add…"

Su Ke raised his hands. "Stop!!!"

Damn it, is this a matter of me feeling it's not tragic enough?!
